Evaluation
Saturnalia launched on Steam on November 8, 2023. The game had previously been released on other platforms before its Steam debut, at which point Santa Ragione added several new features (First Person mode, Photo mode, Film Noir mode, and accessibility options). The only DLC is a soundtrack pack that released alongside the game on launch day. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no post-launch content updates, no announcements of future expansions, and no developer posts after the launch day itself. The one forward-looking note in the pre-launch posts — a mention of a Simplified Chinese translation coming in early 2024 — was a localization addition rather than a content update, and no further posts have appeared to confirm or deny its delivery. Santa Ragione has made no communications of any kind since November 8, 2023. The game appears to have shipped as a complete, self-contained product with no post-launch content cycle ever established.

About this game
A third-person horror adventure where you play as four characters, experiencing an intergenerational storyline tied to the haunting traditions of an ancient village in Sardinia, Italy, a region rich with unique folklore…
The village itself is an elaborate maze with no two iterations being precisely the same—you will have to explore and solve the mysteries of the game largely unguided.
Die, and watch the village reconfigure itself into a new form. Solve puzzles and open shortcuts to new areas with tools and items you find along the way, unlocking every piece of the story with different characters, each with its own power and suited for another aspect of exploration and investigation.
